BMA active bystander programme
This programme will empower all elected members to challenge any poor behaviours they may encounter in their work as a BMA representative. It aims to give you the skills to challenge unacceptable behaviours, including those which may have become normalised over time.
Interactive workshop approach
The programme is interactive and scenario-based. Sessions are provided by an external facilitator and take place virtually.
How to apply
This programme is open to all BMA committee members.
We will contact committee members directly via email once dates are confirmed.
Places for sessions are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Equality diversity and inclusion learning modules
